Thank you all for your input! The reason I feel compelled on some level to tell my sponsor about my relationship is that I know my relationship with Ex T was one facet of my addiction. I was addicted to the relationship. The ending of that relationship catapulted me into my drinking cycle and was/still is a major trigger for my cravings. She knows of a past relationship being a trigger but doesn’t know the specific details (like the relationship actually being with a therapist and not a significant other). I told her the relationship was triggering cravings and she started asking all these questions and really wanting me to share with her. She was extremely nice about it but I kind of shut down because I’m too afraid of sharing with her. My biggest fear is that I won’t find all the relief from working through the steps if I hide facets of myself and my addictive personality.
